Self transformation comes from understanding how the body and the mind have been impacted by childhood trauma. The somatic modality I practice, Core Energetics, offers a unique opportunity to unwind childhood conditioning/trauma and discover who we truly are. Anxiety has become an ever-present emotion with the things that have been happening worldwide over the last 5 years. How do we navigate life when our anxiety is at levels where it is hard to access our rational brain? Also, our childhood trauma is often times echoing in the background, through the events that are happening in the present. Why do we tend to repeat patterns?

Our species is unique: we’re storytellers. Some write novels or films, others are great raconteurs. But we all create stories about our lives, filtered through the lens of experience. These stories affect how we relate to others and the choices we make. At the core of my practice is the intention to help you recognize the stories you tell yourself. Through a collaborative process you’ll gain an understanding of why you create counter-productive or harmful narratives. Being able to identify these tendencies will enable you to change your perceptions of yourself and others and guide you to make more fulfilling choices.

Although I specialise in sex and porn addiction treatment, my work encompasses more than just helping my clients stop their self-destructive behaviours. Of course, sexual sobriety is crucial for therapeutic progress, but I have found that healing the childhood neglect and abuse that--without exception--underlie the development of a sexual addiction is also essential if the individual is to have the truly transformative recovery he or she deserves. I aspire to offer patience, empathy, expertise, and loving, respectful care to my clients, which I hope they experience from me in our work together.

Here to help you remember who you really are.

While some new clients seek Neurofeedback as the first treatment option for their struggles, most clients come because typical treatments have failed. They are desperate for a real, sustained change! Whether it's the child on too many meds with no real gains, the student still anxious after practicing their cognitive restructuring for years, or the therapy-exhausted, still struggling adult...most have tried a bit of everything but found little success. Upon doing their research, they discover that Neurofeedback offers the chance to truly change how the brain functions by teaching the regulation of brainwaves without side effects.

I work with individuals to help them increase self-awareness and lead happier lives. My unique background makes me different than most therapists. In addition to being a licensed therapist, I have a PhD in Philosophy. As a therapist and life coach, I help individuals struggling in particular with relationships, codependency, sexual compulsivity, and substance/alcohol abuse. I also work with adult children of alcoholics, those who grew up in families where emotional chaos and parental addiction may affect their current lives. Unrecognized trauma can result from this. In addition, I work with gay individuals and couples.

The changes of our time contain challenges calling for new forms of expression to strengthen the fibers of our social contract. The therapeutic journey is not only about the brain, it includes the full spirit as well as the body, integrating contexts of both past and present realities. This process invites a sense of familiarity that provides relief from suffering in isolation. This space offers a reconditioning of how we process information creating new pathways of understanding to co-construct questions of ethics, empathy, and imagination that include the nuanced fragilities of our shared stories.
